AN AUSTRALIAN MARVEL. THERE is undoubtedly a positive satisfaction "in a belief in marvels, so long as the merciless skeptics do not get at them and spoil our happiness by raising doubts. The skeptic is an unpleasing person, destitute of bowels,. in the metaphorical sense, and will not leave us long in a comfortable acceptance of miracles; so, before he gets to inquiring too curidusly into the < wonderful discovery’’ of which we get wind all the way from Australia, we must extract from it what we may for the gratification of a love of the marvelous. Itis the Brisbane Courier that gives to the world this wonderful discovery, and its informant appears to he no myth-maker. He gives names of well-known persons and relates the details of experiments on a little secluded island in Sydney Hafbor, in a ?]OSt convineing tone ‘of “matter-of-act.

The gist of the story is that Signor ~ Rotura, who is said to "have won emi-~ nence by his investigations of the bot; any and natural history of South America, hasdiscoveredinthat ;and of half-ex-plored marvels, two vegetable substan- ~ ces of wonderful potency. An extract of one -of these, injected through the skin of an animal by way of a slight i puncture, immediately suspends animation, so that the aforesaid animal is to all intents and purposes dead—apparently quite as defunct as a doornail. But an injection of the other vegetable extract, the antidote of the - first, will restore life at the will of the operator, and the ¢ subject’” appears to be none the worse for its tempo- - rary departure from the ‘‘ warm precincts of the cheerful day.”. Signor . Rotura, the , man of science,has im- . parted his‘Secret to Mr. James Grant, the man of business, who is prominently known in Australia for his concern in a process of generating cold and freezing meat for transportation across sea, and. the two have been engaged in thé experiments whereof the Brisbane writer relates his observations. . e : - Mr. Grant’s interest was originally secured by a very effective trial of the new process on a favorite dog. An injection was made in the deg’s ear, and presently he was dead; at least all the tunctions of life were suspended, and ‘he was tossed on a shelf until next day. i He ceaselﬁe to breathe, there was no ac-. _ tion of the heart, and the temperature of the body gradually fell to that of a cold canine corpse. Next day Signor . ‘Rotura came around, soaked the dog in warm water to raise the temperature, injected his revivifying extract, and, lo! the beast jumped up, wagged his "tail and trotted off as though he had undergone nothing but a comfortable nap. Of course, this wonderfu] discovery is to be turned to profitable account, and the end and aim of Messrs. Rotura and Grant is to ship live stock to:foreign ports while it is dead. It is not possible toavoid paradox in dealing with this wonderful discovery, but, to put,it more'explicitly, sheep and cattle afe to have their animation suspended, be packed on boardship, sent thousands of miles, and on their arrival be restored to life and/sold on the hoof. It appears that this kind of temporary “death is socotfipletethat decomposition sets in in a few days, unless something is done to prevent it, and so the carcasses must be frozen, and kept so until the time of resuscitation. One might imagine that this would be damaging to the tissues and the vital organs. ‘Not at all! The Australian - Munchausen does not stick at any such difficulty as this. The bodies may be . frozen, and kept/ so for montls, per- - haps for years, and -then warmed up " and restored te life as complete as “ever. We mean no discredit to the story by allusion to Munchausen, and refrain from recalling those bugle notes that were frozen up in the forest and filled it with sonorous blasts when the warm weather came and thawed them out. The Brisbane writer:saw with his own eyes fourteen sheep, four lambs and three pigs stacked in a refrigerator, where they had lain dead nineteen days, and one of the lambs . was brought. out and restored, and it trotted off, bleating and capering, into the field. : : ' | Now, the value of this discovery is obvious enough. There is great eeonomy in being able to reduce live ani(mals to frozen carcases, so that they" “may be closely packed and need no fodder. They get somewhat brittle, and have to be ‘‘handled with eare,”” but’ this is a simple matter. As the suspension of life is complete and the resitoration is perfect, of course, the aﬁi-| ~ 'mals do not grow old in the interval, ~ and even though it should be years in length, they take up their being where it left off. And here comes the most interesting of all inquiries. May this . process. be safely applied to human beings? Signor Rotura thinks so, but he -has not proved it, on acccunt of the obstinate reluctance of his relatives by marriage to submit to any experintent. He has not been able to persuade any of them of’ his éntire good faith and the certainty of a successful issue, and no ‘‘subjects’”” have voluntarily come forward. But he has a mode for se- - curing one. He has réquested his Excellency Sir Henry Parkes to turn over to him the next felon under capital sentence in the cplonfy, ‘upon whom he ' may test the power of his mortal and his vital drug. We may confidently | assert that *‘the result wili be awaited { with interest.” g VA .

If it is successful, then will the prospect for utilizing the great discovery’ open up amazingly. Why, for instance, should emigrants be subjected to the discomforts and the expense of a steerage passage when they might be comfortably stowed in the hold and coni veyed by the cubic ton? When it be- | . comes necessary to seclude a man from society for a period of years, for the sake of security, instead of being kept - with much expensé and trouble in a prison cell, he may be packed away in an ice-cellar, and when his time is ﬁp another chance may‘bt:given‘him. ‘He may even be transmitted for the next generation to deal with. Perchance, ' onewho has'a fa.t(x;;y for livinE in the next age inbtead of this még t voluntarily surrender himself to this breathless mleafe in a refrlg?lr‘ator.- with all - reasonab, procautiof or keeping up { the supply of ice and making sure of

resuscitation at the proper time, and 80 become translated into the twentieth century without an% consciousness of the flight of time. The imagination may be lett to work out all the wonderful possibilities here suggested, and meantime we can only hope that the Australian marvel may notfall into the hands of the skeptics.—N. Y. Times. -

_ A British Geography, ° ~ A stoCcK anecdote told. by American travelers in Europe is that when the London 50.11001'1)0{ sees for the first time a citizen of the United States, he raises his hand in wonderment, and exclaims: - ¢ But he is not black.” The thing may have happened or not, but it easily might occur. The geographical chart which hangs on the wall of a London school-house has upon it the picture of a prancing brown Indian, in full feathers and war paint, andh;éxdernea.th him the legend, ‘:An | American.” By this the chart-maker means to degignate the aborigine of the Western world, but the school-boy, haturally takes it to mean the present inhabitant of the United States.

" Grown sons of John Bull' might be expected to know better. But many of them really seem not to. A gentleman of this city, who lately visited some relatives in London, found it impossible to convince them that buffalo and. Indians did not stalk wild on the streets of Cincinnati. A late writerin Lippincott’s Magazine has had the rare privilege of examining a new edition of British school gcography, which, considering that Alexander Mackey, its author and maker, is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a Doctor of Laws, displays even more magnificent ignorance of America than that of the Cincinnatian’s London friends. An American was put to school in England and a work called the ‘¢ Elements of Geography’’ was given him tostudy. On the title-page it was stated that the ‘book belonged to the thirty-seventh thousand which had .been printed and sold. It was evidently a standard work. The preface stated that the greatest care had been taken to bring it, in date of information, fully up to the present time. It gave a brief but vivid account of the Great Rebellion in this country, closing with the statement: ¢ Richmond has been evacuated and President Davis has been . captured.” In this state of thrilling suspense Dr. Mackey leaves United States history, and for all his text-book tells him, the British school-boy may well be still wondering what became of us. The very latest information the yoath gets is this: - S

““ Many slaves were set free during the late civil war, while by a recent proclamation of President Lincoln liberty has been extended to the entire remainder.”’ . ; a _For all the school-boys knows, therefore, President Lincoln is at the head of Government in the United States yet, More lextraordinary information still is dropped all along in great chunks in regard to other things. By way of omission, no mention whatever is made of the great Pennsylvania anthracite coal-bed, certainly the most. wonderful coal deposit thus far discovered in the world. Perhaps Dr. Alexander Mackey left that out from patfotic motives. Albany, N. Y., is represented to be a very great town, indeed, both as regards ‘‘foreign commerce and inland trade.”” Beside that; *¢its university is the principel educational establishmént in the United States.” . Harvard is stated to be the ‘“oldest seminary in the Union.”” -Now, that is in the nature of information. But worse remains behind. Washington City is set down as the ‘¢ metropolis of the United States.” It is also the ‘¢ capital of the District of Columbia.”” Pittsburgh is a miraculous town for ‘‘ship-building.”” Detroit is the great ‘¢ landing-place of hosts of emigrants from Europe.”” Plainly, the member of the Royal Geographical Society never heard of New York City or Castle Garden. Language fails to depict the bewildering emotions with which the born Yankee will read that the District of Columbia is one of the Northeastern States, and that Toronto, Hamilton, Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago are towns on the St. Lawrence. Portland, Me., is lifted up bodily and set over upon- Massachusetts Bay, whilg that classic water, so dear to the heart of all who rejoice in a pedigree from the Mayflower, is not allowed te be a bay at all. Disgusted Boston must know that our F. R. G.S. calls Massachusetts Bay a river. Somewild queries spring up, like startled partridges, on reading what this learned geographer says of us. Do the inhabitants of Great Britain really know no more of the United States than sach a book would seem to imply? If so, a still more frantic question arises: Are we as scandalously, as idiotically, ignorant in. regard to the true history and geography of Great ‘Britain as the people of that happy realm are in regard to us?— Cincinnats Commercial. !

_THE BEsT CORN SOlL.—The Scientific Farmer says that corn requires a porous earth which shall keep porous, and which will get moist without getting muddy so as to puddle, and which shaﬁ readily pass the water of the rains to below the range of ‘the root system of the plant. - Such soil is more usually a sandy loam or clay, but may be one containing much vegetable matter, or even a quite clayey soil underlaid by a porous strata, or a soil clayey in its nature, which shall be kept porous by timely and judicious cultivation. -

SpiNACH. — Wash through three waters, and leave it in the last one, with some salt, forhalf an hour. Drain, clip off the stalks and put the spinach into'just enough boiling water to cover it; boil rapidly for' ten minutes, then drain and press out all the water and cut it crosswise into squares with a sharp knife. Put a geperous piece of butter into a saucepan; add the spinach, seasoned with pepper and salt, and cook slowly for a few minutes. Scald an oval dish in hot water, put in the spinach, pressing it hard, then turn it on a platter and garnish with slices, quarters or halves of hard-boiled eggs. —Prairie Farmer.

A LADY says, in the New York Eventng Post: This week when the girl made yeast bread, I said, ‘ Work a lump of butter into some of that sponge and stand the 'breadpan on the stone floor in the cellar until further orders.” That was Monday noon. Friday we went down cellar and looked at the sponge. Yes, that was an experiment turning out just as I desired. To-day, Saturday, the pan of sponge was brought up to the pantry, and 1 dissolved a teaspoonful of soda in half a teacupful of warm water, cut gashes in the sponge, poured on the soda, worked it in awhile, lifted it out on the warm kneading-board and worked it thoroughly, buttered the big breadpan, made large rolls, set the pan in a warm place, and when baked they were like great white roses bursting open.

How to Make Farming Profitable. In the present condition of the country, all classes of work, especially farming, requires the most judicious management and rigid‘economy that it may be made profitable. With this experience I wish to append a few rude rules for successful farming, and hope that it may be the means of benefiting at least a few of your many readers: 1. Have order and system in all your work. Lay your plans in advance of your work. During the winter months, when there is but little that can be done on the farm, decide what- crops you intend to grow, and provide the seed; put the tools all in good order, so that no delay will occur when the time comes for sowing and planting. 2. Apply fertilizers to the land. Haul out the manure before seeding commencesqand do not let it accumulate around ‘&our barns until you can scarcely get in or out. You must feed your land if you expect it to feed you. The Quaker’s advice to his son was to “‘never go in debt for anything except manure.””. Make all the manure you can, and apply it to the land. for it will pay your notes, etc. :

3. Hire only good help, for your profits will depend to a large extent on the kind, of help you employ. Do not hire too many hands, and do not on any consideration hire' those that are in the habit of ‘“telling yarns,” etc., for, beside being =» great nuisance on the farm, they are very unprofitable. When you hire a man, tell him plainly you hire men to work, and not to spend their time in idleness or talking. 4. Work with your hands, for it is an almost: undeniable fact that the ordingry run of farm hands will not do more than half a day’s work on an average if you are easy with them, or let them work alone. Don’t desire the name that ¢he is & good man to work for,” but rather the name that *‘he is a hard man to work for, but good pay.” 1 mean by this that you require every man to do a reasonable day’s work, which hired: men now eall hard.

- 5. Pay your help promptly and willingly every cent you agree to, and, if you find that they are trustworthy and faithful, do not begrudge them a few extra favors. Treat them kind and respectfully at all times, or, in- other words, ‘“do unto others as you would ‘have others do unto you.” . 6. Have the best/of farm implements you can obtain, and plenty of them if possible, so that if one is broken while in the hurry of work, lyou can use some other implement until the broken one is ri?a.ired. To do good work requires good tools, and I would advise all those that can do so, to sell the old tools ard procure new ones. You can do more -work in a day and do it better, with improved new tools, than you can with old rickety ones that some farmers use. 7. Keep all the stock yoa can keep well. The condition of your land will, to a great extent, dependy on the amount of stock iyllo‘u keep, and the care you take of the manure, but do not keep more than you can keep well, for a thrifty animal in good condition does not require as much food as a poor lean one. A e

8. Carry a mémorandum book, .an‘d note down the thin (thfa.f are wanted and want to be cgfnb. {For instance your team is going to town. BZ referring to {our'memora.ndum book you find, *‘bolt for mowing machine,” ** plow to be mended,” t‘iarness to be mended,” and probably: several other things you wouPd not have thought of if you had not noted them downin your book. By a little forethought in this

direction, you will not only save several dollars in the course of a year, but avoid loss of time and anxiety of mind when in a hurry with your work. 9. Do everything well. Keep this firmly fixed in your mind, for it is written that a slovenly farmer never getsrich. Itis a true saying that a good farmer may be known by his fences alone. Then if you arebuilding a fence, barn or anything else, do it as if you intended it should stay for a thousand years. 10. Don’t borrow. ' This every farmer should heed, as it prevents his neighbors from becoming his enemies. Any farmer: who has good implements would in many cases rather give his neighbor a dollar than lend the implement to him, for in most cases it would be returned to him injured or out of order, and he may consider himself fortunate if he does not have to send for it.- Every farmer should buy if possible all implements he will have occasion to use. Thereis anold adage that says ¢ borrow brings sorrow.” Therefore, I will say, don’t borrow, but buy what you need. e 11. In autumn prepare for winter. Provide warm and comfortable places for your stock, and they will not require so mach food. See that the cellar is in proper condition, and well protected, so that your winter store of vegetables may not be frozen. Procure a large supply of dry wood, and if possible have it under a cover. Then you will have the smiles of your ‘“ better half,”” and not be ecompelled yourself to gooutin cold, stormy weather to procure fuel. ; 12. Keep a journal and writein it every day. A great many have the idea that it is a hard and unprofitable task to keep a journal. If you note down the weather, when you sowed and harvested, the different kinds of grain; number of bushels raised and sold; prides received, etc., you will not only experience a great pleasure in looking back to ‘see what you received for grain, pork, ete., informer years; but very often it will prove quite profitable. The best time to write in a journal is in the evening. Keep your book in a handy place, and after supper write a plain account of the day’s doings. If you have things properly arranged this need not take more than one minute each day. Encourage the boys and girls to write in your journal. It will prove a first-class teacher of penmanship, and cultivate correct and concise- expression. It is also good practice in. composition, spelling, etc. I would also urge every farmer to keep a strict account of all his business transactions, and thereby save themselves much trouble that comes from neglect. Nothing will give greater pleasure and satisfaction than to look over accounts at the end of the year, and\see how much has been made or lost. If he has lost, he can see in what branch it. has eccurred, and lay his plans so as to avoid it in the future. On the contrary, if he had not kept an account, and the loss was small, he /would not perceive it, and go on in the old way. In a few years he would be astonished at the way he had gone behind! In conclusion, I would earnestly urge all farmers to *‘keep .books,”” and thereby stop a great many small leaks.—Cor. Western Rural. : . ;

* The Uses of Ammonia, No HOUSEKEEPER should be without a bottle of spirits of ammonia, for, beside its medical value, it is also invaluable for many household purposes. It is nearly as useful ‘an article, for all cleansing uses, as soap, and its cheapness brings it within the means of all. - Turn a teaspoonful of ammonia into a quart of warm soap-suds; dip in a bit of flannel, and wipe off the grime and smoke, and dust from any painted wood-work, and see for yourselveshow much hard labor it will save you, for you do not need to scrub it with all your strength, only wipe it off.. : It will also clean and brighten silver wonderfully. Mix a teaspoonful of the ammonia with a pint of hot suds; dip in your silver forks and spoons, rub them with a soft brush, and polish with a chamois skin, and you will use it -weekly, if not oftener. For washing mirrors and windows it is very excellent. Put a few drops of the ammonia upon a bit of newspaper, and you can rub off any marks upon the glass at once. ’ It will also take out grea.se‘sgﬁs from all kinds of cloth. Mix a drops with a few drops of water, and rub gently on the spot; lay a blotting-paper over the place, and press a moderatelyheated flat-iron upon it, and it will disappear. A few drops turned upon a wetted towel and gently pressed upon the edge' of a soiled collar will whiten it. :

Then it is a most refreshing agent for the toilet, for a few drops in a basin of water will remove all disagreeable odor of the skin. If a teaspoonful is added to a foot-bath, it. will take away all unpleasantness from the feet. And there is nothing better for cleansing the hair from dust and dandruff than half a teaspoonful of ammonia in a teacupful of warm water. : : . . For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is equally, good. 'Put a teaspoonful of it into a pint of warm water, and dip the brushes into the water and scrub them well; then shake out until nearly dry, and put into the sunshine. The most soiled brushes will come forth from ‘such a bath white and clean.

For medicinal purposes ammonia is much used. In cases of devere headache, it will, prove a very agreeable remedy, and ‘a frequent inhalation of its pungent vapors will often cure a catarrhal cold. There is no better remedy than aromatic spirits: of ammonia for a severe cough. Twenty drops of it, taken in a wine-glass of water, will frequently prove of great relief. Itis also a good remedy for dyspepsia and heartburn. The common spirits of ammonia can be used in the same way, but it is not as palatable as the aromatic spirits. : : , - In addition to' all these uses, ammonia can be applied to vefetation with most beneficial effects. If you desire to make your roses, fuchsias, geraniums and carnations blossom, add half a teaspoonful of the ammonia to every pint and a half of warm water, and sprinkle ther: with it. But do not use it oftener than twice a week.

Rain water is impregnated with ammonia, and it is more refreshing and invigorating than spring water to vegetable life. N Ammonia should always be kept tightly closed with a glass stopper, as it is so strong that it eats away a cork. Christian at Work. ' ,

One-sided Matrimony. ‘ AN application of Harry Nichols, a Meridian coachman about twenty years old, for a decree of divorce from Mary Green, aged forty-six, develops a romantic episode of life at the Reform School. Nichcls, who was released\ from that institution last February, relates that some time previous Miss Green, the laundress, in an apparently joking way stood beside him before some of the boys and playfully said, ‘“We'd make a nice-looking couple, wouldn’t we?” to' which he responded langhingly that the idea was a good one. Nothing more was thought of the affair till his release, when the wonian came to him and insisted that he keep his promise, as she called it. He says he refused at first, telling her it was all in fun. She threatened him with the law,. and, fearing that he would be sent back to the Reform School, he finally agreed to do as she wished. According to his story, she secured the license, and they were duly married in Wallingford. He says Father Mallon performed the ceremony, and she paid fifteen dollars for his trouble. After the ceremony both returned to Meriden. Nichols says since that time they have not lived together She repeatedly came to where he'was at work, and asked him to live with her, but he refused. She finally became so persistent that his employer, accidentally becoming aware of the circumstances of the case, advised Nichols to begin a suit for divorce and rid himself forever of her importunities. The young man accordingly engaged as his counsel Mr. Rateliff Hicks, and the case will, come before the September term of the Superior Court.— Hartford (Conn.) Courant.

This little book takes the learner through Long D vision. 1t has been very bammuy prepared to ald teachers in inducting their pupils into the science of -Arithmetic. Explgnations, and those simple first steps which puggest themselves naturally to the mind of the instruct. or, have been omittéd, that the size of the book might . not be unnecessarily increased. But the questions on the tables are complete, and the examples. are so careful'y mad¢ up that when the little pupil is-able to obtain correct answers to them -all without, assistance, he will be found to have mastered the whole subject. Attention is particularly réquested to the examples in Numration, Subtraction and Division. This work commerds itself as especially valuible to the teachers . of the Primary Department 'in those public schools which do not put a Primary Arithmetic into the hands of theirpup:ils. Also, teachers of foreign languages will find the questions «¢n the tibles helpful to them in - drilling their pupils on the numbers in the languages which they teach. b e PRICE, 15 cents.
